Guest Post by Ron Paul
As a rule, US war reporting since Vietnam has been mostly mainstream media cheerleading the mission rather than digging beyond government war propaganda. After all, it was images of American boys coming home in body bags shown on the six o’clock news across America that finally galvanized mainstream opposition to that war.
The Pentagon learned its lesson by the first Gulf War, and it severely restricted up-close media coverage. Only “trusted” journalists were able to report from the front lines. Most of the press corps wrote up stories based on US military press releases from luxury hotels in Baghdad.
By the time of Gulf War II the Pentagon came up with the concept of “embedding” select journalists with the troops. This allowed the story to be framed by the Pentagon with the false impression that actual journalism was taking place. It felt authentic, because the journalist was with the troops and close to the action, but the story presented what the Pentagon wanted to be presented.
This is perhaps a long way of pointing out that US mainstream media coverage of the war in Ukraine leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, sometimes the truth does slip out in publications like the New York Times, which reported last week that in just the first weeks of Ukraine’s “counter-offensive” at least 20 percent of the weaponry and equipment donated by the US and NATO has been destroyed.
However, usually what the mainstream media serves up are Pentagon and neocon talking points. Russia is losing, they report. Russia has already lost, as Biden said recently. Most Americans don’t go out of their way to listen to actual experts like Col. Doug Macgregor, who from the beginning has been telling a very different story. Thus Americans continue to be fed propaganda.
There is a funny thing about propaganda, though. Sometimes it comes face-to-face with contradictory reality and is shown to be nothing but a pack of lies.
Take for example last week’s shocking report that President Biden has signed an order to mobilize 3,000 US military reservists for deployment to Europe in support of the 2014 “Operation Atlantic Resolve.” What is Atlantic Resolve? It was launched in the aftermath of the US-backed coup in Ukraine and the ensuing unrest under the US-installed puppet government.
So, if Russia is losing – or has already lost, as Biden said last week – why has it suddenly become necessary to call up US reserve forces? Well, in the midst of one of the most serious US military recruiting crises ever, it seems Washington does not have sufficient troops for its anti-Russia mission in Ukraine. So what is the mission and why does it seem to be creeping toward sending more Americans close to the battle zone? No one in the Administration seems interested in explaining it and no one in the US media or Congress seems interested in asking.
We are on a very slippery slope, with Biden’s neocons continuing to escalate in the face of massive Ukrainian losses and an apparent shortage of US troops. Make no mistake, if the US/NATO proxy war with Russia is not halted the next step will be to look at the US Selective Service. That means they are coming for your kids. How long before America wakes up and says “NO”?

Sign up and we’ll forgive all those college loans ?
After you return sans a leg and arm?
Uncle Samuel “About those loans…you see, it turn out we can’t actually do that. But? Thank you for your service, and here’s another worthless medal.”
I remember watching Walter Cronkite on CBS news in the 60’s, when I was a Kid.
Every Friday there would be a chart of KIA’s next to the flag of USA, N. Vietnam and S. Vietnam.
Looking back I wonder how bad the numbers were manipulated.
I also remember seeing pretty brutal footage of live combat with dead and wounded, that you would NEVER see now.

I will help the young any way I can to avoid going over seas for this bullshit.

she eerily resembles an old Buddy Ebsen..
He’s dead. If only she resembled him more fully . . .
Wondering if she is Epstein’s mother?
He was spawned in a Petri dish.
Grandma clown Jew.
Reinstating the draft would be a huge mistake unless and only if they manage to get by with a huge false flag that make it look like Russia attacked us. I don’t even think an attack on a NATO ally would get enough support for reinstating the draft.
Even money says if they reinstate the draft, the sodomites and tranny’s get a pass on that mission.
Just say NO! to the Rothschild controlled neocons and their get RICHER schemes. Those folks are the Devils crowd and are the epitome of the term EVIL.
They are just there to train and advise (cue the sound of Huey’s)..
Isn’t Lindsay Graham worried that his kids could get sent to die? Oh wait, he’s a homosexual.
I am sorry, I cannot serve, said the young man. I had three of your Vaxx shots and I get chest pain whenever I exert myself.
Plus, I identify as a non-interventionist (not a pacifist nor isolationist nor protectionist) . . . just like .mil vet, Ron Paul.
I think you meant to say that the CFR upped their game post Vietnam, Mr. Paul.
In both the media, and the Pentagram.
They will offer free trans surgery, and send all the freaks off to the meat grinder. First major war where the manly sit it out. We will be left with stronger breeding stock for the future instead of culling the best and brightest. Trust the plan.
Me thinks they are going to need an army of conscripts just to track down all the draft dodgers. I’ve read that the ultimate purpose of guerrilla warfare is to deplete the enemies resources and will to fight with sneak attacks followed by hiding to the point where there objective isn’t worth the cost of achieving that said objective. Not saying everyone would violently resist, but I think enough would to make a recruiting brown shirt wonder if he/she will make it home alive every night.
“Take out” that ugly slob, Victoria Nuland, and all this bull comes to an end pretty quickly. This evil Jew witch needs to “disappear forever.”
